Cannot unlock KDE Wallet automatically on fingerprint login

Hello all,

The libfprintd driver for my laptop was finally made available and I am able to use fprintd. I added the line:

auth      sufficient pam_fprintd.so

to both /etc/pam.d/system-local-login and /etc/pam.d/system-auth files and I can login to Plasma using my fingerprint.

Unfortunately, once I'm logged in, kwallet prompts for my password. When I log in by typing my password this doesn't happen since I followed these steps. Is there any way I can unlock kwallet with my fingerprint too?

edit: If you happen to end up in this post: The wallet cannot be unlocked when using a fingerprint reader to login (check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet)
